Anmsthesia in Dentistry

DR.. G. Q. Cotton, of this city, enjoys
the distinction of having first administered
gas for surgical operations, and who
brought anaesthesia into practical use. 1t
may not be generally known, but DR..
Cotton was one of CalifOrnia's Forty
miners, and can tell of the time when he
was paid an ounce of gold ($16) for every
tooth he pulled. DIR. Cotton, when asked
about the discovery Of gas as applied to
pulling teeth, gave the following interest
ing account of the first case:
''On the evening of Dec. 10, 1874,
gave an exhibition of the effects Of laugh
ing gas in the city of Hartford, Conn.
Among those who inhaled it was young
man by the name Of Cooley, who, while
under its influence, in jumping about, ran
against some wooden benches or setteeS
on the stage, bruising his legs badly
After taking his seat he was astOnished
TO find his legs bloody, and said he die
not know he had run against bench
and felt no pain until after the effects Of
the gas had passed Off. DIR. Horace
Wells. Of Hartford, who sat next to him
noticed the circumstance, and as the audi
ence was retiring asked me why mar
could not have a tooth extracted without
pain while under the influence of the gas
replied that 1 did not know, as the ide;
had never occurred to me. DR.. Well
then said he believed it could be done
and would try it on himself if woulC
bring bag of gas to bis dental Office tn,
next day. The next morning, Dec. II
1914, took bag of gas to his Office

He Loved His Dog.

In the greatest of the ancient HindOo
poems-the sacred book of the Mahab-
harata-there is a passage of exceptional
beauty and tenderness, which records the
reception of King Yudiauthira at the
gate Of Paradise. A pilgrim Of the heav-
enly city, the king had travelled over vast
spaces, and one by one the loved ones,
the companions Of his journey, had all
fallen and left him alone, save his faith
full dog, which still followed. He was
met by Indra and invited to enter the
holy city. But the king thinks of his
friends who have fallen on the way and
declines to 60 in without them. The god
tells him they are all within, waiting for
him. Joyful. he is about to seek them,
when he looks upon the poor dog, who,
weary and wasted, crouches at his feet,
and asks that he, too, may enter the gate.
Indra refuses, and thereupon the king
declares that to abandon his faithful and
dumb friend would be as great a sin as to
kill a Brahmin.
Away with that felicity whose price is to abandon
the faithful
Never, come veal or woe, will leave my faithful
dog
The poor creature, in fear and distress, has
trusted in my power to save him;
Not, therefore, for life itself, will break my
plightcd word
In full sight Of heaven he chooses to 20
to hell with his dog, and straightway de-
scends, as he supposed, thither. But his
virtue and faithfulness change his desti-
nation to heaven, and he finds himself
surrounded by his old friends and in the
presence Of the gods, who thus honor and
reward his humanity and unselfish love-

The ETIQUETTE OF ALBANIA.


Filtration Unknown and Love Making
FOrbidden-The Marriage Ceremonies.
The dress of the Albanian women is
ungallantly described by travellers as
hideous. It is said to be of thick mate
rial and shapeless; a leather band encir-
cles the waist, and usually little black
cloak is thrown over the shoulders. But
the wearers are the most beautiful women
of eastern Europe, and their manners al
ways gracious.
Filtration is unknown, and even the
most decorous love making forbidden
The proper thing is for the lover never
to see his intended till their marriage
dav. She has been carefully secluded in
the recesses of her home till her parents
think she is old enough to be married.
Having arrived at this conclusion, they
announce the fact; if the mere announce
ment is of no avail, they adopt strong
measures. The lady s brother will politely
come up to friend in the street and
pleasantly remark: "You are just the fel-
low 1 wanted to see. My sister is IA
wears old; you must marry her. y
No Albanian who respects himself re-
leClS IIle DIOpOScl4 VI 4lAo AAACAAus IL Ae'Ce3
he regards it as an honor, and knows
that a refusal means a duel to the death.
Like other more western mortals, he may
have a morbid curiosity regarding his
friends sisters personal appearance, and
then he has recourse to the inevitable old
woman, the entremetteuse in the true
sense of the word. whose profession is
to intervene in such cases. She calls on
the bride, inspects her, and then returns
to the expectant swain with detailed
account of the young lady's qualities, OF
course colOred in proportion to the fee
she has received. Then the wedding day
is fixed, and at last the happy pair are
face to face.
The etiquette of Albania requires the
bridegroom to be coy and reluctant; it is
considered degrading to his dignity to af-
feet any tenderness for the fair sex, and
therefore he is bound to offer strong re-
sistance to her approach. In marked
contradistinction to the usual marriage
ceremonies, which point to a capture o.
the bride, the Albanian customs indicate
a capture of the bridegroom, and yet the
whole race displays a degree of cOntemp
for women which is not found in thu
most barbarOus nations 1t is worthy o.

A French soientist.s Plan.

a curious proposition has Just been
made by N. Camille Flammarion. the
well known French scientific writer. He
wishes at once to preserve international
peace and to enlarge the sum of human
knowledge concerning the structure of
the earth. To this end he would have the
arlous European governments unite and
turn their soldiers into miners and their
bayonets into pickaxes and spades. At
some suitable place q vast well should he
excavated, miles in depth. Indeed. M.
Flammarion would dig downward until
he reached the central fire or the
center Of the globe. Thus positive lSnowI-
edSe Of the structure Of the earth would
be gained; peace for the time would he
secured, for the nations would neither
fight nor fear each other while all their
armies were underground; and, indeed. a
permanent reign Of peace would be be-
gun, since the soldiers in the mines would
forget the arts Of war, and the nations.
tnding out how well they got along
without them, would raise no more great
armaments.-New York Tribune.

The facts are that Notifications are be-

walked off again. The jailer made a

up street without molestation. Judge
Newman was this afternoon informed
that the senator's condition was such
as to render confinement dangerous.
He thereupOn appointed three ply
SIclans as committee to ascertain and
certify to the facts. Their report con-
tirmed the information already re-

order to Jailer Shull suspending the
sentence of ten days for contempt of
court until such time as Riddleberger
may be in a condition to be returned to
jail. Friends of the senator say he is
not in condition to know what he is

Fatal Wreck.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-As the ST.
Louis, Chicago 81 Cincinnati express
train on the Baltimore 81 Ohio road,
due here at $40 this morning, was ap-
preaching the city the air brakes did
not work properly and the train ran
upon what is known as the "Y - near
the depot, at the rate of forty miles an
hour. a general wreck ensued and all
the cars except the sleeper were badly
smashed. The only deaths reported at
this hour are those of Hamilton
Brosius. the engineer of the train, and
two passengers. The fireman
was badly scalded and fif-
teen passengers seriously injured.
On the south side of the ''Y'' in a lit
tie corner made at the intersection of
the tracks was located railroad signal
tower, a brick structure three stories
high, and when the train turned the
sharp curve of the ''Y" with fearful
Roadway, the cars behind the engine
| flew the trace and crushed into the sig
nal tower. The engine was dragged
from the track and ploughing through
dirt and mud for a distance of l5C
| feet, rolled completely over. Near the
engine lay Hamilton Brosius, the engi
| neer, Crushed and dying, and his fire
man with several bones broken. One
car was crushed and nearly buried
under the tracks and timbers of the
| demolished building. Over twenty
| people were got out of the wreck, some
of them only slightly iured
others with bones broken -
| badly bruised and cut.
